I just got my M850xi. I have owned Porsche 911S, Panamera, Porsche 911. I am 6,3" and in my opinion, best car so far. Yes, the steering is not as sporty (feel)as my last 535i or 640i but still when driven in "SPORT" mode it feels great, sounds great, looks great. If you can afford it, try it, you'll like it!
Why do you still say the Merc is better, they all have stretched ipad screens and so only for the fruit phone fans! the usability of the idrive is sooooo much better than merc and audio!
Grrrreat looking car, fantastic performance for the M850i and excellent fuel economy for the 840d. The X drive can haul you round corner like on rails and the laser lights !!
What is the point of this car? It just looks like a slighter jazzier, bigger 6 series. It's hideously overpriced, ugly, cramped, dated, charmless and will drop like a stone depreciation wise. I'd much rather have a original 8 series tbh. BMW have really jumped the shark in the last few years design wise. Bring back Chris Bangle.

this vs. F90 M5?
Finally a professional review. No ' I like or I don't like' keep up the professionalism :-)
I watched the Grand Tour Episode on these GT cars and the 8 series which May drove came out as winner in all the tests!
It did indeed, the AM DB11 was garbage compared, remember how they had to wait for the road to dry before they could do a drag race?
Beautiful... Extremely capable car... Way better than any of the cars he mentioned and great value for money. BMW is on a role these days.

Finally something that is not promoted!!!!!!!! Hallelujah
The interior is based on the original 8 series.

The lexus LC is a competitor you forgot
The bright background sunlight seems to have darkened the exposure for the exterior of the car resulting in it not being appreciated.....
An S65 Coupe is 190k, more expensive than the DB11 and Conti GT??
Why is the sun blasting into the camera?
Great looking car
435d is a pretty good 840d alternative?
Yes. It is. Costs less..
Or 640d is better...I didn’t buy a 435d due to non exclusivity and interior is rubbish
lets see what the Convertible is like ?
I would disagree with the DB11 this is much more produced and slightly slower . Only the v12 would . V8 or i6 wouldn’t
Could You Review La Voiture Noire ???
The Bentley Continental GT is the king of this class but I'll take an S63 AMG over the 8 series.
Max Troy The S63 gets less attention people will think it’s just another Mercedes . Bentley is also sportier and would be heavy
its the most convenient GT
If I Can't Afford the Aston-Martin DB11 V8 GT, I'll Get the BMW 850i GT When Ever I Win the Lottery. I Can Dream, Can't I?
They need to put the nose from the new z4 on it.
Sounds like you found the positives in rather a challenging car to love
And it's got that crappy screen that doesn't fold away shit ca6
Still not S CLASS like or even Bentley gt
You are tooooo tall, if you are 5'7" and below no issues in the back!!!!
No, you have to be 5'2" or less, and driver should not be more than 6'0" tall
Window doesn't go down at the back cheap skates ...lame car for the money
The original E31 8-Series was way better looking, this one just looks too generic.
Car
BMW interiors so boring and outdated 🤢🤮
But it is user friendly, it is always easy to use buttons than two touchscreens.
Boring maybe but very modern and innovate
8 series is sooo stupid, and booring.
Lexus lc500 all day long ...the end
